www.debondtbv.de Celebrate Summer with the Scheepjes Serenum MAL!
Celebrate blue skies and warm summer days with the Serenum MAL by Natalia Kononova from Outstanding Crochet blog! Create this adaptable 'One Size Fits Most' garment using any of the 5 suggested yarns,including our more delicate, natural and responsible yarns. Participants create their own personalised statement wearable item by combining their own colour and yarn choices and will shine all summer long!
The Design
During this new Scheepjes Make-A-Long, the versatile Serenum design takes centre stage, offering an uplifting project that will add a much needed splash of sunshine to any wardrobe. The crochet pattern features a cardigan that, with a simple adjustment, can also be worn as a sweater. This means that everyone's effort to crochet a garment is doubly rewarded! The loose-fitting sweater / cardigan design consists of a block stitch body with a border of sunny crocheted mandala motifs.
About the Make-A-Long
The Serenum MAL will be held from 30 June - 21 July in the Official Scheepjes Facebook groups, providing a unique opportunity for intermediate to advanced crocheters to learn more about garment construction, the block stitch and refine their overlay crochet skills. Participants will be provided with all the resources and support they need to have an enjoyable MAL, and maybe even learn a thing or two along the way! In addition to the extensively detailed patterns, the designer Natalia will offer participants further support, together with the highly skilled Scheepjes Facebook group moderators and admins and worldwide Scheepjes community, by being available in the Official Scheepjes International and Dutch Facebook groups (almost 110,000 members in total!). Further information and video tutorials will be available in the weekly blog posts on Natalia’s blog OutstandingCrochet.com.
